German WWII > Uniforms & Acc. > Uniforms >

A beautifully designed and made Luftwaffe Evening Gala Tunic named to Leutnant Zimmermann. The Luftwaffe Evening Gala Tunic is in excellent condition. The Gala Tunic is made of a fine quality officer grade blue tricot. A fine hand embroidered Luftwaffe Bullion Breast Eagle is neatly, and originally, hand sewn to the upper breast area of the tunic. Three sets of award loops, originally sewn to the tunic, are affixed to the left breast area. The silver aluminum pebbled buttons are in near mint condition, and all appear to be originally attached to the tunic. The original waist closure chain using "FLL EXTRA FEIN" marked buttons remains. The Luftwaffe Evening Gala Tunic has two sewn-in style Shoulder Boards bearing two gold pips designating the rank of “Hauptmann”. They are pipped in red. A silver wire Augillette in excellent condition is still originally attached to the tunic. A double twist aluminum wire braid runs the perimeter of the tunics collar. The original waist closure chain remains intact, and functional. The interior of the tunic is lined with a fine blue artificial silk lining which shows minimal wear and retains its high sheen. The sleeves of the tunic are also lined in a fine white artificial silk. A tailor label is hand sewn to the neck area of the tunic. A tailors name tag is also sewn inside of the interior pocket with hand written information on the original owner, size and the date. Included is the Gala vest. The vest is in good shape with a stain to the white lining in the vest area.
